ASTM D5151 Standard Test Method for Detecting Holes in Medical Gloves

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D5151 standard. The ASTM D5151 standard provides a test method for identifying potential punctures in gloves used for medical purposes. This test method is designed to detect leaky holes in medical gloves so that the glove's usefulness is not compromised. In the applied tests, the holes in the medical gloves are detected.

This test method is limited to detecting holes that cause water leakage under test conditions only. However, the smallest hole size that causes water leakage in the gloves is not shown. Therefore, if any holes are detected, the test will fail.

Meanwhile, not all safety concerns regarding the use of medical gloves are covered by this standard. It is the direct responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of legal restrictions.

Penetration is a very important criterion in the standards developed for medical gloves, which are among the personal protective equipment. Penetration is the passage of liquid substances, whether chemical or not, through porous materials, small holes or, for example, an overlooked hole in a glove.

This can lead to serious health problems. Therefore, it is important to detect holes in medical gloves. If conforming to standards and normal use, protective gloves should not harm the user. The materials used in the production of medical gloves should not affect the health of the user.

Acceptable quality gloves for a company producing medical gloves, the number of perforated gloves is effective. The safe and correct use of medical gloves is beyond the scope of this test method.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
